To add to the confusion here is the official IPL newsbite for broadcaster partners http://www.iplt20.co...or-dlf-ipl-2012 . It states both NEO and Echostar are the broadcasters for IPL in the USA.

I don't know what is the new information you are giving. Everybody knows Neo Cricket and Dish PPV are broadcasting IPL in USA where Neo Cricket will not broadcast all games. The confusion is about the HD subscription from the Dish and channel 476 missing.

Following thru on the IPL saga, I just noticed that ATN in Canada appears to have severed their connection with Neo Cricket as of March 29. The ATN-Neo channel has been re-branded ATN-Cricket, and according to schedules, has reverted to nothing but repeat airings of ODI and T20 international matches, instead of the non-stop cricket-centric/filler programming that Neo was providing them. Rogers took the IPL rights in Canada last year so ATN couldn't show that, and with NEO having lost the BCCI rights - ATN obviously wondered what they were getting for their money!

No doubt IPL will keep NEO alive in the US for another 6 weeks, but then what?

Thank goodness WI v Aust test matches are on TEN for the next 3 weeks! :-)

At least ... until 2014 when BCCI claims payments didn't arrive in time, and they void the contract and seek a new one for even more money!

Hopefully Willow or whomever picks that up in the US will get the raw feed, and not relay the broadcasts shown in India, with so much advertizing its hard to see the cricket! (I note the CEO of ESS said on cricinfo "viewer experience will not be compromised" - which means it most likely will be!)

I am a subscriber of American top 120+ HD package, so I am getting IPL in HD.

So I changed my subscription from HD to SD. You are not going to get HD unless you subscribe american HD package.

Thats a lie. You dont need to sub to HD American package to get PPV in HD. Thats was Dish is selling this IPL...basically as PPV in HD. They uplinked this channel 476 specifically for this IPL only (dont know if they will re-use this in future).

Did you try contacting one of the DIRT member on Dish form & see if they can resolve your issue

OK.. I guess there's a game on this morning, but I wouldn't know for sure, because 476 still isn't showing up on my receiver, plus ch 458 (the SD feed) just keeps telling me I have to purchase the PPV (although I already did, of course.)

I've got customer service on the phone, trying to figure out what's wrong on both counts, HD and SD! Way to go, Dish!

I'm on with advanced tech support now, trying to get 476 to show up. SD on 458 is working.

OK... he finally gave up, was about to file a report on 476, but got an update that other folks are having IPL HD PPV authorization problems. So it seems they're working on it. Said to keep checking it, call back in a couple of days if it doesn't show up.

One thing you guys can try is to do "Check Switch" again by going to system info's point dish section. You shouldn't have to do this though as the receiver should pick up that channel on power cycling or automatically. Their tech support should help.

You don't need american packages for this. All you need is HD receiver and HD option added to your account (supposed to be free for life).
